Oregon Road Conditions & Cams Email Story to a Friend November 8, 2005 Meth Watch: Suspect flees charge of endangerment EDITOR’S NOTE: Crime Stoppers of Southern Oregon, in cooperation with the Mail Tribune and KTVL Channel 10, is participating in "Meth Watch," a program intended to combat the manufacture and sales of methamphetamine in Southern Oregon. Each week, Meth Watch will focus on a person wanted by Jackson or Josephine county law-enforcement agencies for delivery and/or manufacture of methamphetamine. Eric James Brown is wanted by Central Point police for failure to appear in Jackson County Circuit Court on charges of manufacturing and possessing meth, delivering the illegal drug to a minor and endangering the welfare of a minor. Arrested in June, Brown was released from the Jackson County Jail on bail. A warrant was issued for his arrest when he did not report to court for his September trial. Bail on the warrant is $120,000. Brown is described as a white man, 39 years old, 6 feet tall, weighing approximately 190 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. The picture shown in today’s newspaper was taken in June. Brown may be using an alias of Eric Temple or Jason Whitehouse. He may have left the area with a 15-year-old girl, who is listed as a runaway. If you have seen Brown, or have information of his whereabouts, please contact Crime Stoppers of Southern Oregon at 800-3-DETECT (800-333-8328) and refer to case MT/MW-168. Advertisement Crime Stoppers will pay a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest in this case or any other unsolved criminal activity. Callers can remain anonymous. The reward is sponsored by Sonitrol of Southern Oregon.
